Tonight was my first Chinese lesson – I tried Rosetta Stone, and the teaching style didn’t work for me. You can follow along with me, if you want to learn some basic Chinese in a perfect Beijing accent!

The first clip is an overview of the vowels and the different sounds in the Mandarin Chinese language, as well as some simple phrases, and the second clip includes some basic introduction phrases.

Enjoy!
